I have played Destiny almost from the beginning and bought all the expansions so whilst not liking it I am familiar with the power grind but EoF is appallingly tedious. Plus to get a decent loot pool you have to use modifiers which put you at a distinct disadvantage to the enemy combatants and you have to get to 300 to move up through the ranks , why? Bungie now seems to be locked into making games which are not fun. The Marathon versus Arc Rider debacle typifies this, one gets accolades for been fun the other slated for been boring and tedious. Bungie you need to do something radical to get people back on side. A couple of suggestions retune engrams to be +7 on you power level as a minimum on expert and above and bring in optional matchmaking for everything. The Portal can be made a great tool it just needs smart tuning, not sure it will happen though it is too often Bungie's way or no way.
